1. A method of database selection during site provisioning in a distributed computing system having multiple nodes individually hosting one or more databases, the method comprising:

  • receiving, via a computer network, a user request to initiate a provisioning process for a site to be hosted on one or more nodes in the distributed computing system; and

    in response to the received user request,generating a configuration file containing data representing one or more of module loading control, security configuration, session state configuration, application language, or compilation setting of the site;

    selecting one of the databases hosted on the nodes, including;

    randomly selecting a first number of databases from a list of available databases in the distributed computing system;

    determining a second number of databases with lower levels of database load than the other databases from the first number of databases; and

    randomly selecting one database from the determined second number of databases; and

    storing the generated configuration file for the site in the randomly selected one database, thereby achieving a generally even distribution of database loads among the list of available databases in the distributed computing system.
